We … find that the productivity of family firms is non-monotonically associated with the number of family owners and with the …

Economists typically model a plant's productivity as an exogenous characteristic, but the people who run and work at … manufacturing plants make choices, at a cost, that affect plant productivity. I develop a method to partially identify the … productivity distribution when such choices determine productivity. The method uses a monotone comparative static result I prove in …

I develop a general framework for ex-ante analysis of a policy's effect on productivity. I use it to study the effect … of carbon taxation on power plant productivity in the United States.
